Can custom generation data be uploaded to Enact?
Custom generation data for solar PV designs refers to the specific, user-provided information about the expected energy production of a solar power system. This data is typically based on hourly solar generation estimates and is used to create more accurate and tailored solar energy models.
Yes, Enact allows users to upload generation data in two formats: the Enact CSV format and the HelioScope format.
- On the design module, click on Additional Tools > Energy
- Toggle on the "Use Custom Generation"
- Upload generation data either in Enact CSV or Helioscope format. Attached is the Enact CSV file template
Once uploaded, the data is integrated into the design software, allowing the system to use this specific information to predict energy production. Enact will then use this data to generate performance estimates, financial projections, and other important metrics for the solar PV system.
In summary, custom generation data is crucial for creating accurate and optimized solar PV designs, particularly in complex or large-scale projects. It allows for tailored energy production estimates that consider site-specific factors, leading to better performance and financial outcomes
